your paper at home, you are at that horrid
club.
Hell am perfectly willing
She-Plea Sc let ME get a word in edge
ways. You know you are the most uncOn-
genial of husbands We have been mar
ried four years, and | suppose that it is
about time that you tired of me. Well, /
suppose / must bear it, but my heart is
verv, very sad. John, got letter from
poor, dear mamma to-day.
He with covert sarcasm and what did
poor, dear mamma have to say, Clara?
She ltearfully)-Oh, you needn't sneer,
John. She has been my only true friend.
She said it was pity that we weren't
housekeeping instead OF living like pigs in
a cheap clearinghouse.
He-The cheap boarding house suits me.
She-Well, it don't suit me and I'm not
going to stand it. So there.
He-I suppose poor. dear mamma"
would come to live with MS if we were
keeping house?
She-Indeed she would.
He-Then we shall continue to board.
She-And shall 20 to mamma Just a.
soon rs l can pack my things.
NOte-rhis conversation continues with
ever increasing acrimony until the door of
the theatre is reached
S:00-Elsinore: \ platform before the
castle. 'Francisc'' on his post. Enter TO
him Bernardo"
S:05-Shc wonders how the waist on
that woman's dress is made. Whether it
is a vest set in or trimming put on.
Horatio-In what particular thought 10 work,
know not;
But in the gross and scope Of mine opinion
This bodies some strange eruption 10 our state.
S:lO-She lodges hat n tall as her own
to catch a glimpse of the ghost" and
shuts out the view of that melancholy APP
partition from little man behind her.
S:l2-Speculates upon the social stand
ing of those people in the upper lett-hand
box.
s:2O-"Which is Booth, John?'
That oldish man over there on the
right
"What part is he playing tonight"
"Why, Hamlet, OF cou e.
81 don't see that there any of course
about it. Couldn't he play something else
Just rs well?"
S:95-Regrets that she did not wear her
evening bonnet. 1t would have been so
much more becoming to her-sOitening her
complexion, and all that sort of thing.
Hamet-Oh, all you hosts of heaven oh, earth!
What else
S.40-'Is this the second act?"
at is the second act my dear. Pay at
tention to the play and you will know all
aboutsit."

$50 Sees Il friend from Oakland, hut
too far distant for bowling recognition.
Enter Ophelia.
She-WhO's that john"
He testify That's "Ophelia." Pay
attention to the stage.

are awful cross tonight, John.
He-WhO wouldn't be cross. I'd like
to know?
9:3O-She begins to watch the move
mcnt on the stage.
1O:OO-She is interested, but cannot
comprehend what it is all about. Her hus-
band is almost crazed by her constant
whispers oi inquiry, and so Is everybody
else around her. She. is worse than tall
hat or a man in the middle of crowded
row who goes out between every act.
1lO0-On the boat. She has expressed
nnb0uuded admiration for Booth; she has
yentured to criticisc him in a few minor
particulars; she does not think much OF
Ophelia, ond she is not enamoTed of Ham
let" as a play-She prefers "As You Like
It'-she saw Langtry in that. Those oys-
tiers were not good, and the ale was fiat.
Then she reopens the evening quarrel with
her husband, and keeps it up until they
reach their apartments.
Midnight-He snOrcs, hut she is still at
it, VIII she never 90 to sleep?
